Major actions taken by the Council at its regular meeting on October 1, 2014 include:

 Received a report concerning the Pollution Control Agency’s proposed Source Water Memorandum of Understanding with the growers, the Monterey County Water Resources Agency, and the Monterey Peninsula Water Management District, which would address some of the issues that must be resolved before the Pollution Control Agency can continue with its proposed ground water recharge project. This project, if approved, would reduce the size of the desal plant that would otherwise be needed, and could be online significantly before any of the proposed desal projects.

 Addressed possible steps to facilitate the adoption by Nader Agha and the Moss Landing Commercial Park, LLC of an agreement with the Moss Landing Harbor District that would allow the District to become the lead agency for the proposed People’s Project desalination facility.

 Held first reading of an ordinance accepting a quit claim deed from the Pebble Beach Company for any interest it may have in the land now occupied by the Pacific Grove Museum of Natural History.

 Approved conceptual plans for a pilot program that would allow homeless residents of Pacific Grove–who until now have had to sleep in their cars, in violation of the City Code–to sleep in a parked vehicle as part of a supervised and permitted program, such as the One Starfish homeless parking program, in the parking lot of a host property, such as a church.

The agenda reports and supporting documents for all of these actions are on the City’s website, at http://www.ci.pg.ca.us. Details of the actions taken will also be available, upon completion and adoption of the meeting minutes, which will also be posted on the website.

This is the Heal the Bay Beach Report Card for Monterey Peninsula beaches, which reports water quality grades, or when relevant, weather advisories. An A to F grade is assigned based on the health risks of swimming or surfing at that location. Look at the "dry" grade for all days except those "wet" days during and within 3 days after a rainstorm.
